Agentic AI Security: What It Is and How to Do It
This data persistence introduces additional data protection requirements and can add new risk vectors such as memory poisoning attacks where adversaries inject false information that corrupts decision-making across multiple interactions and users. This creates risks of unauthorized actions, runaway processes, and decisions that exceed intended boundaries when agents misinterpret objectives or operate on compromised instructions. Security evaluation often requires testing unsafe prompts or tool sequences; executing these against live systems is risky and irreproducible 210, 232, 239, 240, 241. Alongside insights based on current advances and progress, we discuss how new benchmarks can further augment evaluations by incorporating additional information …
